Pleioplectron Triquetrum
''Pleioplectron'' is a genus of Rhaphidophoridae, cave wētā in the family (biology), family Rhaphidophoridae, endemism, endemic to New Zealand. These wētā are fairly common at night among the leaf litter in native forest in the South Island of New Zealand. The species look very similar to species of ''Miotopus'', another New Zealand endemic genus, recently resurrected. There are currently ten recognised species of ''Pleioplectron''. The genus was described by Frederick Hutton (scientist), Hutton in 1896, with six species, three of which have since been moved (to ''Miotopus'', ''Novoplectron'', and ''Pachyrhamma''), and two synonymised. The genus ''Weta'', erected by Lucien Chopard, Chopard in 1923, is now considered a synonym of ''Pleioplectron''. Seven additional species of ''Pleioplectron'' were named in 2019. All but one ''Pleioplectron'' species live in the South Island. The North Island species, ''Pleioplectron hudsoni'', is widespread in forests, and females lay eggs i ...

Rhaphidophoridae
The orthopteran family Rhaphidophoridae of the suborder Ensifera has a worldwide distribution. Common names for these insects include cave wētā, cave crickets, camelback crickets, camel crickets, Hogan bugs, spider crickets (sometimes shortened to "criders", or "land shrimp" or "sprickets",) and sand treaders. Those occurring in New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania are typically referred to as jumping or cave wētā. Most are found in forest environments or within caves, animal burrows, cellars, under stones, or in wood or similar environments. All species are flightless and nocturnal, usually with long antenna (biology), antennae and legs. More than 500 species of Rhaphidophoridae are described. The well-known Gryllidae, field crickets are from a different superfamily (Grylloidea) and only look vaguely similar, while members of the family Tettigoniidae may look superficially similar in body form. Description Most cave crickets have very large hind legs with "drumstick-shape ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
